What is recorded here

No fort is visible in Corry, though maps marked a circular earthwork beside Lough Allen before the land took it back. The fort is gone, but the story of the fort remains, shaping the field and the memory of the place.

Located in rough pasture on a slight E-W ridge of a general SW-facing slope at the N shore of Lough Allen. It is indicated as a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 25m N-S; c. 20m E-W) with a straight edge at N and described as a 'fort' in gothic lettering on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is depicted as a circular hachured feature (diam. c. 20-25m) on the 1907 edition. No feature is visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 13 December 2011
